It makes much more sense of Rey's parents to have been killed by Kylo.
Mara Jade 2.0
Rey is Luke's daughter, Kylo killed her mother
Welcome back from the EU Mara Jade
Yeah this is what we're getting.

He's a Skywalker/Solo. Leia's only not called Skywalker because of adoption.
I posted way early this morning. Here's my speculation.
Going along with the Darth Plagueis is Snoke theory. Rumors from before about Anakin's birth was that Plagueis actually did figure out how to manipulate the force (or midicholorians, whatever) to create life, and therefore he created Anakin (which is why his midicholorian count was off the charts) essentially being his "Father".
What if Snoke is Plaguies, and saw Anakin as a failed attempt, so he tried again with Rey. Creating her. Sure it still leaves it open to who her mother may be. But, this could also explain her connection to Luke/Skywalker's since essentially she is like Anakin's sister.
Edit: Even if Snoke isn't Plaguies, maybe he learned the power of creating life and created Rey. And he was the one who left Rey on Jakku. Would explain why he left her to that asshole merchant guy. Bad guy connections.
Too far fetched?
Seems to me that Rey is lukes daughter and Luke put her in hiding on Jakku after he saw what happened to Kylo and he destroyed his order.

This was definitely a moment that needed some explaining.
Tried 3D for my second viewing. I actually thought the 3D itself was pretty good...nice depth between the background and foreground that I didn't notice in my 2D viewing, but holy fuck the blurriness and the darkening of the picture was just not worth it.
They've got to find a solution for this with 3D moving forward.
This was such a great introduction to her. It does what every theme should---it expresses Rey's personality. And does a damn good job of it. I hear this theme and I can't help but think of Rey.STOP sleeping on Reys Theme
The movie has not even been out for a week and people are still seeing it for the first time. If that idea is already grating you then the spoiler thread might not be for you right now.it's been discussed and is the "obvious" and boring idea.
Not surprisingly, the music shines when there's almost no dialogue. Our intro to Rey, the Jedi Steps, the opening moments of the film, the scene where Rey snatches Luke's saber - in general, I think, the movie could've used some more quietude. The near constant-dialogue stifles any opportunity for the soundtrack to breathe.To be fair to Williams, this movie's pace is so far off-the-charts compared to the OT, I don't even know if there was enough time to put in a meaninful score, without it being interpreted by banter or a scene change
There's no way Rey is a Kenobi. Both the OT and PT are Skywalker stories. Star Wars is a Skywalker story. Kenobis are nobody.
Wow, this is horrible. Putting Luke at the end because they didn't know what to do with him? And R2 had the map because he downloaded the Death Star's database 30 years ago? Why would the Empire know where the first temple is, but the Republic archives wouldn't? I'm not going to say 'lazy' writing because they obviously struggled to make all the pieces fit, but they should've hired a better writer to do so.
The bit about going on a quest to recover information from the sunken remains of the 2nd Death Star sounds pretty awesome though.
The section with the Rathtars (?) was possibly the weakest part of the film. It just didn't sit right with me; the creatures were a little too obviously CGI and the space pirates seemed to be from a different film. It did make me chuckle though.

Someone's post on that R2D2 explanation regarding the novel:
Why in fuck did they cut all this crucial shit from the novel? I don't get it. This is like the 3rd or 4th really needed piece of information that should have been in the movie...
So,when are those Rey body pillows coming out?...My uh...friend wants one, yeah.

Jedi Steps is definitely amazing and I don't think you could have asked for a better composition to the lead up to Lukes reveal. It was perfect.Not surprisingly, the music shines when there's almost no dialogue.

Because his work on TFA is rather subpar?
This movie is as good as Man of Steel to you?
i think many of these callbacks were used really well though. In a way that StarWars enthusiasts would pick up on them and the general audience wouldn't be confused by something that seems out of place. Depending on how much you're into StarWars and its lore, you might have picked up on none, some, many or even all of these callbacks.Oh! And here's Han Solo! But old! And Leia! But old! Hey! Is that the ball drone that Obi-Wan used to train Luke on board the Millenium Falcon?

I like the theory that she was one of his most promising trainees, so he mind-wiped her and put her in hiding before Kylo Ren could get to her.
the original has an amazing score, Empire just as an even better onen an upbeat march as a counterpoint for the Imperial March ("March of the Resistance").
I would also point out that Empire Strikes Back is where Star Wars truly became a musical tour de force, the film that introduced Yoda's Theme and more famously the Imperial March, plus classic pieces like "The Asteroid Field".

Nice to know I wasn't the only one that didn't like the light side seduction angle.
It means that between corporate and creative they essentially came up with a generic Star Wars checklist of all the things that must be in Star Wars because reasons, and then proceeded to write a script that ticked every box. It's not inherently a bad thing, it just means the film isn't taking chances.
Well they really botched that one in the movie.

Ben Solo doesn't want to listen to his conscienceThe whole point of the dark side is to fall to seductions and passions. How the fuck does someone get seduced by the light?

They're all 7/10 except for the Avengers. I think the point is to look at the pros/cons.
btw, Rey always calls it waiting for her "family" - not parents or anything like that.
Family could be fellow Jedi padawans, Space orphans, who knows.
Just pointing out it's not specifically and explicitly "parents"
They are joke reviews. All 7/10, which itself is a meme.

"seduced by the light" might very well be one's instincts telling them that they're being a shitty person and should probably stop acting like that, albeit stated more grandiosely.
In the context of Ben, it might also be his Jedi teachings bubbling back up to the surface in the back of his mind.
Lol this is total codswallop. They didn't even have R2 wake up because of BB8 saying anything to her, she just wakes up.
